I am convinced the Trump /Musk bromance will be short lived, Both want to be the Alpha Dog and there can be only one.
But at least he's not a DEI hire.Doesn't matter. It's a DUI - that never rubs off. Once you have the taint, it sticks!
Or worse still...wait for it!.........................a DUI DEI!But at least he's not a DEI hire.![]()
NPR isn't funded by taxes.It seems NPR will be a target of Musk's DOGE.
He says of NPR "Taxpayer money should not be used to fund propaganda"
That two hour feature on local Jazz artists certainly radicalised the kids!
When has a trivial thing like facts mattered to the GOP ?NPR isn't funded by taxes.
Because it will be a non-government body, it can be ignored by everyone. Soon, it will be a laughing stock.When has a trivial thing like facts mattered to the GOP ?
If NPR receives no public funding then Musk can simply announce that public funding for NPR has ceased - job done. The job of DOGE is not to save money but to take potshots at programmes and initiatives that the GOP doesn't like.
That'll be as useful to me as using an AR 15 to overthrow the Chinese dictatorship.Well, if you are right time to buy the AR 15, since there is no peaceful way to fight back.

For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves. It is time for that to change. I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources. We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
As a boost to the American economy we will tax all foreigners living abroad.Donald lays out his tax plans
He's creating an External Revenue Service
He's going to create some fabuloso new department out of thin air, with no government approval or oversight, to do what is already being done by an existing department by statute.Donald lays out his tax plans

The Department of Government Efficiency will no doubt declare that it will be good to have multiple departments doing the same thing. The deep state one which can be in conflict with the unofficial one that just makes decrees through Twitter and demands that everyone listen to them.He's going to create some fabuloso new department out of thin air, with no government approval or oversight, to do what is already being done by an existing department by statute.
This is going to be SO much fun!![]()
Presumably to offset the money we won't be spending in the US. I've visited the US the past two summers + a quick trip in the past fall, but I'll be visiting elsewhere for the next four years.As a boost to the American economy we will tax all foreigners living abroad.
I believe that it receives grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is funded by taxes.NPR isn't funded by taxes.
This will be great! I won't have to pay any extra due to tariffs, because foreigners will pay it all! It's just like I've gone my entire life without paying much in the way of income tax because my employer paid most of my income tax bill for me (OK, they used money deducted from my paycheck to pay the income tax, but I personally never had to send much money to the IRS).Donald lays out his tax plans

He’ll claim that Biden stole the peace that was only made possible by himself (Trump).Looks like a cease-fire between Israel and HAMAS might be close to fruition. Hopefully it happens before Dump takes office so it becomes harder for him to take credit for it.

BREAKING: Hamas has approved a ceasefire- hostage agreement. President Trump's strong leadership is already making the world a safer place.
It's easy to delude yourself into thinking you're leading the parade when really you just jumped out in front of the other marchers.
WHo knows?Is he pretending to be this dumb, or does it come naturally to him?
No, Sanders did not say that.WHo knows?
What he does not get is it is a two way street. and the other nations will strike back.
I think Tariffs are a bad idea, and never seem to do what they were intended to do.
And they are a bad idea no matter who wants them, be it Trump or Bernie Sanders. Sanders beleif in high tariffs is one reason I cold noever support him.
I should bloody hope so. You guys over in America seem to believe that they were some group of lovable rogues when they were actually a bunch of terrorists.Next Step: abolish the IRA,
I once briefly worked for the IRA (not the IRA, but the IRAI should bloody hope so. You guys over in America seem to believe that they were some group of lovable rogues when they were actually a bunch of terrorists.
The job of DOGE is to abolish regulations on billionaires' dodgy business practices.The job of DOGE is not to save money but to take potshots at programmes and initiatives that the GOP doesn't like.
From what I have been reading, the biggest problem the Deal has is oppostion from within Israel many on the right not happy with it. COuld cost Bibi his job. If he loses the right it's game over.The deal is in phases, I'm certain that Trump will drop the ball during phase 1 and then blame Biden for making a terrible deal.
As a matter of fact, the negotiations for the ceasefire included negotiators from both the outgoing and incoming administrations. I don't know how that exactly worked, but it seems that the incoming administration does share the credit.He doesn't have to, others are doing it for him.
Good to see you back phiwum!As a matter of fact, the negotiations for the ceasefire included negotiators from both the outgoing and incoming administrations. I don't know how that exactly worked, but it seems that the incoming administration does share the credit.
AFTER MORE than 15 months of war, and just five days before Donald Trump is inaugurated as America’s 47th president on January 20th, a ceasefire in Gaza has at last been agreed. The deal, struck on January 15th, is essentially the same proposal that the outgoing American president, Joe Biden, extracted from Israel in May. It took eight months of tortuous mediation and the joint efforts of both old and new American administrations, alongside those of Egypt and Qatar, to get Israel and Hamas, Gaza’s Islamists, to commit.
Mr Trump seems to have been the X factor. He made it clear to the Israelis he has no desire to enter the White House having to manage yet more war in the Middle East. That bellicosity seems to have helped secure a ceasefire in Lebanon, and now one in Gaza.
The new administration’s approach is yielding results in part because the Trump team has little truck with the diplomatic niceties of the outgoing bunch. When Mr Trump’s new envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, a New York real-estate mogul, arrived in Israel for talks on January 11th, he brusquely informed the Israelis he would not wait for the Sabbath to end to meet Mr Netanyahu.
But it is not just manners. Despite five decades of steadfast support for the Jewish state, Mr Biden is less popular in Israel than Mr Trump. Mr Netanyahu could at least tell his supporters that by refusing Mr Biden’s demands he was standing up for Israel’s interests. That argument is much less convincing when the Israeli right sees the incoming president as much friendlier than his predecessor.
